Iconic book, published by Quartet in 1984, Hashish is one of those books that shouldn't have worked as well as it did: a large-format meditation on a plant that most publishers wouldn't touch. John Julius Norwich, better known for chronicling Byzantine emperors than black market economies writes the accompanying text, tracing hashish from its centuries-deep roots in the Middle East to its adoption by nineteenth-century European bohemians who thought they'd discovered something new.
